DP World hopes to have the $2.96 billion port and logistics park it is building on the banks of the River Thames in Southeast England operational by 2010, its CEO said in comments published on Monday.
Mohammed Sharaf said the Dubai ports operator will adopt an aggressive construction schedule with the aim of having the London Gateway project up and running in time for when the UK capital hosts the 2012 Olympics, quoted UAE daily The National.
"We'd like to be ready as early as 2010. With the project so close to the city, the Olympics will put a lot of pressure on capacity," Sharaf told the newspaper.
